Values are mean ± SD (n = 4) followed by superscript letters across the rows. The superscripts are significant differences based on the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test or parametric independent sample ANOVA test across the farms. The unit of measurement for the enzyme are INF μg g⁻¹ 2 h⁻¹ (dehydrogenase), P-nitrophenol μg g⁻¹ h⁻¹ (β-glucosidase, acid and alkaline phosphatase) and NH₄-N μg g⁻¹ 2 h⁻¹ (urease).
